A large-scale search for a missing fisherman at Bethells Beach is continuing, with Search and Rescue teams, life guards and the Police helicopter involved in efforts to find him. Korean man Myung Kang went missing at the beach on Saturday January 5th.

The 57-year-old’s white 2011 Toyota Prius has since been found in the Bethells Beach car park.

Detective Senior Sergeant Callum McNeill is urging anyone who may have seen Mr Kang to contact Police.

“Saturday was a hot day and a large number of people took the opportunity to spend some time at Bethells Beach, so we are hopeful that someone has seen Mr Kang with his fishing gear,” he says.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
